UNC Academic Calendar 2026-2027

Each academic calendar includes deadlines for cancellation, withdrawal, and dropping classes, along with other significant dates that vary depending on the type of calendar. It is important to consider how the dates on academic calendars impact all business operations, such as class registration, tuition reimbursements, and statistical reporting, when creating them. Many of Campus Solutions’ apps use dates from the academic calendar for various business operations.
